Please note: This is an advisory / consulting role, we are not looking for backgrounds in data science or technology implementation. The ideal candidate will have demonstrable experience from a top-tier management consultancy, leading strategic marketing/communications agency, or equivalent.
About This Place
We’re part strategic consultancy, part design agency. We're the people who both shape the upfront strategy and create the stuff that consumers see and feel.
We’re proud to be fiercely independent. Working for brands we believe in. Free to build our company around what lights us up, meaningfully empower our team, and move with pace and flexibility for our clients.
We’re looking for team members who want to make their mark. People who like a tidy sandbox and clear direction at all times typically don’t thrive here, and that’s something we are proud of.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Senior Strategy Consultant to join our AI Practice: a small, senior team of strategists, AI experts, and marketers passionate about bringing AI to life in consumer product experiences and marketing operations.
We’re looking for someone ready to step-up into a senior role, with deep passion for AI and experience in marketing & product strategy, and/or marketing operations to join our growing team, delivering top-tier strategy advisory to global brands.
We’re open to a range of backgrounds. You might be a strategist from a classic consultancy, a planner from a marketing and communications agency, or a candidate from a hybrid consultancy-meets-agency environment (e.g. CX, innovation, brand consulting). Ultimately, we’re more interested in your strategic mindset and problem solving approach than a specific previous role title.
As a Senior Strategy Consultant, most of your time will be spent delivering client projects from initial problem framing through to final recommendations. As a small team, our Senior Strategy Consultants are expected to be able to work independently with light guidance from senior leadership.
It is imperative that you have a true passion for AI - this means more than just using ChatGPT. You are reading broadly and regularly in your own time about developments in the AI industry. You are tinkering with different tools in your professional and personal life. And you are knowledgeable about the latest capabilities in this fast moving space and keen to work alongside others who share the same interest.
Key responsibilities
Deliver end-to-end strategy consultancy projects for clients, focused on AI product marketing as well as AI implementation within the Marketing function
Conduct structured research and analysis to inform strategic recommendations - from market and trend scans to competitive assessments
Identify opportunities to drive consumer and business value with AI (within consumer-facing product marketing strategy and marketing operations)
Turn complex inputs (business goals, brand, culture, people, and technology) into simple, actionable ideas and frameworks
Develop compelling, high-quality deliverables for senior client audiences, including research reports, marketing strategy presentations, business cases and workshop materials
Support product and brand experience strategy work led by our Strategy and Design teams - contributing to the definition of experience principles, journeys, and systems that guide design and execution
Report directly to the AI Practice Associate Director, focused on strategic delivery with no line management responsibilities
About you
Deeply passionate and excited about how AI is changing business and society today and motivated and curious to deepen your expertise in this space. You are already up to speed on using all of the mainstream AI tools and well-read on the latest developments in the AI industry.
Professional background in product, marketing, brand, or communications strategy consulting settings with previous experience structuring and delivering strategic recommendations.
Experienced working with B2C brands, particularly within consumer goods and tech - with your own point of view on the challenges those categories face.
Proven client-facing experience advising executives in marketing or product strategy roles with confidence and empathy.
Excellent general business acumen and exceptional problem solving skills - able to contribute to both big-picture thinking and hands-on execution, ensuring work ladders to a larger vision.
Experience collaborating with creative teams and designers to translate strategic visions into functional outputs is a bonus, particularly if you have a track record of translating strategic intent into high-impact functional outputs.
Driven, responsible, highly proactive and self directed but also highly flexible, relaxed and resilient in fast-paced, highly changeable environments - we’re a start-up team working in an industry that’s moving at a rate of knots.
You are low-ego and collaborative. You understand that priorities shift, work evolves or changes direction, and feedback is an opportunity to improve. You seek input, stay curious, and see learning as part of the job - with a focus on improving rather than being right.
Outstanding verbal and written communication skills in English.
Benefits
Salary in the region of 50-55K GBP per annum depending on experience
Remote first, with regular opportunities to collaborate in-person as a team
25 days holiday days, in addition to bank holidays
Company pension with 4% employer contribution
Up to 20 days per year overseas working per year
Location
This is a remote-first role. While you will primarily work remotely, you must be based in or around London and be flexible to attend in-person team gatherings in central London with 24 hours' notice. Candidates must also be willing to transition to a hybrid model (e.g., 1-2 days per week in the office) in a London office space in the long term. Additionally, the role requires flexibility for international travel and taking calls outside of standard UK business hours when needed.
Eligibility
You must have the right to work in the UK. We are not able to offer sponsorships at this time.
